Working with a Data Recovery Service
Back from the Brink
Nothing protects your data like a well-conceived system of backups. However, no one is perfect, and mistakes happen. In most cases, you can recover data you thought was lost by sending your disk to a data recovery service.
I once worked for a company that committed one of the cardinal sins of system administration. They forgot to verify the backups. Although they did check to make sure everything they had specified was actually being written to the backup media, they forgot to verify that they were actually backing up everything they should, and they missed a single directory with important information.
As you might have guessed, one day, the hard disk crashed. The crash was unexpected, because the drive was not more than a year old, and it was obvious that this was a physical crash because the drive was making some really nasty noises when we turned it on. The system did not recognize the drive at all, so we couldn't do anything at the operating system level to recover the data. The initial reaction was that this data was gone for good.
The drive was making a series of short clicks that sounded like metal on metal. I was relieved that I wasn't hearing a steady scraping sound that might mean the read-write heads were digging themselves into the hard disk platters at thousands of revolutions per minute. This gave me a glimmer of hope that the problem was simply the drive mechanics (perhaps an issue with the arm containing the read/write heads) as opposed to damage to the platters. However, for the average user, the situation is equally hopeless either way. I thought about perhaps buying another identical drive and swapping out the platter spindle, but that still would not guarantee that I could access the data, and it was entirely possible that I could damage the drive beyond repair.

Ernest Hemingway's .577 Nitro Express Double Rifle by Westley Richards
Ernest Hemingway's .577 Nitro Express Double Rifle by Westley Richards
Even for the larger-than-life Ernest Hemingway, his double-barreled .577 caliber Nitro Express was one big gun. Manufactured by the Westley Richards firm in England in 1913 and weighing in at nearly sixteen pounds, the rifle was meant to stop the biggest beasts in Africa. It accompanied Hemingway on safari in 1953, as recounted in the book Hemingway's Guns, which devotes an entire chapter to the famed .577. "It's an absolute masterpiece," says Silvio Calabi, one of the book's authors. "The thing you really come away with after looking at it is, man, they really knew how to build these things back then."
The gun's colorful history goes even beyond Hemingway's African adventures. It was also employed by Papa for a wholly different type of big game. During World War II, Hemingway outfitted his fishing boat, Pilar, to hunt German U-boats, which often infiltrated the waters off Cuba. And, yes, the .577 was aboard. Hemingway apparently figured if it was good enough to take down elephants and rhinos, it could likely punch a pretty good hole in the hull of a submarine, though he never actually got to test the theory. On display at the Curry Mansion Inn in Key West, the gun led a quieter life since Hemingway's heyday.
The much touted Westley Richards, .577NE which had belonged to renowned author Ernest Hemingway went up for auction in early 2011 by the James D. Julia auction house of Fairfield, ME. The gun was auctioned off on March 14th, and was expected to fetch between $150,000 and $200,000 and went out at just about $340,000.
Description of this .577 Nitro Express Double Rifle by Westley Richards
SN 17425. Cal..577 Nitro Express. 750 gr. bullet, 100 gr. cordite. The Westley Richards Best quality rifle with hand detachable lock action (droplock) is as highly regarded among rifle connoisseurs as the Holland Royal and the Rigby Rising Bite. To find one of these iconic rifles in the .577 750 gr nitro caliber is very unusual. Added to this is the fact that this particular rifle was owned and used by Ernest Hemingway, a man of great charisma, a Nobel Prize winning, innovative author; war correspondent; uncompromising outdoorsman; hunter, fisherman, and acknowledged Man's man; makes this fine rifle virtually priceless. It features: 26" Steel shoe-lump bbls, with quarter rib and doll's head extension. They are engraved "Westley Richards 178 New Bond St. London Gun Makers By Appointment to His Majesty George V Rex et Imp." on sunken portion of rib, which is also scroll engraved at transitions to sights. Rear express sight has one standing, two folding platinum-line leaves marked for 100, 200, and 300 yards. Westley Richards patent front sight has longitudinally dovetailed silver bead with flip-up porcelain night sight, and folding hood. Top rear of bbl is engraved ".577 Cartridge" and "100/750 Grs." Bbl flats have London nitro proofs for the full 100 grain cordite load. Bottoms of bbls are stamped with provisional proofs, SN, and "H. L" (bbl makers initials). Narrow sling loop is attached to a large base, screwed and soldered to bottom rib. Bottom portion of Westley Richards style regulating wedge has shell and scroll engraving at muzzle. Robust, case hardened, Westley Richards patent, hand detachable action features typical Westley pivoting top fastener, bushed strikers stamped "R" and "L", nicely filed beads, automatic bolted safety (SAFE and BOLTED inlaid in gold), and Westley Richards patent single trigger with selector on trigger plate with "L" and "R" inlaid in gold. Water table is stamped with patent information for single trigger and detachable lock system, with detachable lock use number 2521 and single trigger use number 171. Action is engraved with well-cut, medium sized, shaded scroll with "Westley Richards" in ribands on either side. Charcoal blued, hinged lock recess cover has nearly full coverage of well cut scroll engraving with central oval vignette of rather naively portrayed black rhino running through open woodland. Blued trigger guard has prowling tiger on bow, and SN on grip, which terminates at steel trap grip cap. Dense, darkly streaked and figured European walnut, full pistol grip buttstock measures 15" over Silvers pad. Stock features classic beaded and shadow line cheekpiece for right handed shooter, with ogee transition from bead to shadow line, approx. 22 LPI point pattern checkering with mullered borders, checkered side panels with line borders, and nicely shaped drop points. There is a vacant rectangular gold crest plate with scalloped borders, and sling loop on toe line. Splinter forend with Deeley release and Deeley ejector, has horn forend tip, and checkering matching buttstock. SN is stamped in left bbl channel. Drop at heel: Approx 2-3/4", drop at comb: Approx. 1-7/8". Weight: 15 lbs. 14 oz, LOP 15". Maker's best quality oak and leather case with shaped brass corners, and brass reinforcing plates at corners of oak frame, has typical Westley Richards push-button key lock, and sliding brass bolts, as well as, usual securing straps. Nearly intact "Flandre" "French line" shipping label is on lid, with passengers name: "Mary and Ernest Hemingway", cabin numbers: "Suite 9 - 11" and with final destination: LeHavre, penciled in. Interior is lined in dark green cloth with large Westley Richards paper label and two other Westley Richards labels with "instructions for use", and "instructions for cleaning". Large label has SN penciled in. Case contains wood-covered steel 2-pc cleaning rod with brass trim and swivel head, old pull-through cleaning brush marked "577", various other brushes, and two brass capped tin bottles, one for Rangoon oil (nearly full), and the other for special cleaning fluid, both with John Rigby & Co labels, one loaded Kynoch 577 cartridge, and one fired Eley case, as well as the original key. Accompanying the lot are a copy of the original factory ledger pages, and the fascinating, newly released hard cover book HEMINGWAY'S GUNS by Silvio Calabi, et al, in which an entire chapter is dedicated to this very rifle. To paraphrase passages from the book: 'Before coming into Hemingway's possession it was owned and used by international sportsman Winston Guest (a Churchill relative)in Kenya while hunting with Bror Blixen during the 1930's. Hemingway, while hunting with Philip Purcival, met Guest and the two became lifelong friends. As he had for many of his close acquaintances, "Papa" had a special name for Guest ... "Wolfie". Guest still had the rifle when he settled Cuba in 1942 to oversee family business. He reunited and rekindled his friendship with EH and wound up second-in-command of the "Crook Factory", Hemingway's makeshift "FBI approved" counterintelligence ring charged with keeping an eye out for Axis agents. Never one to think small, Hemingway soon conceived of a new and more aggressive sort of clandestine warfare. The Caribbean was infested with German U-boats that were picking off tankers delivering fuel from refineries in New Orleans and Aruba to Britain. Up and down the Atlantic seaboard, American yachtsmen were answering the call to assist the US Navy in patrolling for German raiders. With diplomatic connivance, Papa armed his sportfisher "Pilar" with light machine guns, satchel charges and, according to Patrick Hemingway (Ernest's son), Wolfie's trusty Westley stopping rifle. (One can imagine the conversation over a few rum drinks about the penetration of the .577 solid and how it might be just the thing to hole a German submarine). U-boats sometimes bought or seized fresh food from small boats. Hemingway's plan was to pose as fishermen and to lure one to Pilar's side, then sweep its deck with gunfire while Wolfie lofted a satchel charge into its conning tower. Fortunately for all concerned, and for American literature, Pilar never encountered a submarine and the Westley was put away until summer 1953 when Ernest and wife Mary departed NY for Africa on the French steamship Flandre bound for Le Havre, then Paris, Pamplona and eventually Mombasa; a safari which was richly chronicled in Look magazine the following year. Most interestingly just prior to EH's departure, in his New York Post column of June 26, 1953, Leonard Lyons wrote that he had accompanied Hemingway to the basement shooting range at Abercrombie & Fitch, where Papa wanted to test-fire some old .577 cartridges in this rifle. Papa induced Lyons to shoot too: "... the recoil hurled me back against the back of the cement booth and the gun fell from my hand. 'You OK?' the salesman asked. Only a wrenched shoulder. 'Lucky,' he said. 'They usually break a collar-bone.'" This may account for some of the battle scars on the stock's right side. Factory records indicate the rifle was built in 1913 for British Cavalry Officer Stephen Henry Christy who died in France 3 Sept 1914, less than a year after the rifle was finished in the days preceding the first battle of the Marne. How the rifle came into the possession of Mr. Guest is unknown. Additional Information: Also accompanying this lot is an original copy of January 26, 1954 Look Magazine which features a fascinating 16 page chronicle of Hemingway's African safari on which the Westley Richards .577NE was used. PROVENANCE: Handwritten note from the owner of the Curry Mansion Inn in Key West, where the gun has been on display, relating how the rifle came into their possession in the early 1970's. CONDITION: Very fine, as found. Bbls retain better than 70% orig blue, thinning at carry points, with areas of silvering from contact with case, and also with a few minor pinprick pits. Bbl flats and breeches show nearly all of their orig polish with some minor staining and marks. Bores are excellent, sharp, bright and shiny, with just a hint of frost in left bbl. Action retains 50 - 60% orig case hardening color, fading to silver on fences, to silver brown at bottom of action, and is quite vivid in protected areas. Top lever retains 90% orig bright charcoal blue, browned on thumbpiece. Safety retains most of its orig blue, and safety bolt most of its orig fire blue. Lock cover retains 70 - 80% of its orig charcoal blue, pleasingly silvered on high points of engraving, with a few minor marks. Trigger guard is somewhat silvered on bow, but retains most of its orig blue. Detachable locks retain nearly all of their orig damascening with some areas of cleaned discoloration. Stocks retain their orig finish with numerous knocks, marks and scars, some of which are quite deep, especially right side of buttstock toward comb. Checkering remains fairly sharp with numerous deep compressions on forend to right of latch. Orig Silvers pad has crystallized with areas at toe and heel where rubber has chipped off. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time. Single trigger works. Case leather is dry with some cracking and spalling of grain, and water discoloration. Orig straps and handle are good. Shipping label is missing some bits at bottom. Penciled in information is faint, but readable under black light. Interior cloth is good, with areas worn through, mostly from contact with sights and bbls. Labels are deeply foxed to brown. Large makers label is intact, other instruction labels are wrinkled, somewhat compressed, and torn, but readable. Accessories are fine. Brush is detached from pull-through. Cleaning rod brass is tarnished. Cleaning container labels are foxed, brown, and have patches of discoloration. This is certainly one of the most desirable rifles in the world. If only it could speak - the stories it would tell!

Too bad it's missing a trigger. That really messes it up, but Hemmingway must have ordered it that way.

Hemingways Double Rifle brings $295,000+
Mar 14th, 2011 by Gregg
James Julia auctioned this piece of firearm/literary/American history today: this Westley Richards droplock double rifle in .577 Nitro Express that was once owned by Ernest Hemingway. The gun hammered down for $295,000. Thats without the buyers a premium of 15%. So whoever bought Papas mammoth double dropped around $340,000 to get it. Those are some deep pockets.
Hemingway's .577 Nitro Express Westley Richards Double Rifle
The gun would probably be worth $70,000 $80,000 without the provenance. And who would ever want at .577 NE double rifle with a single trigger? Facing down a charging elephant is no time to run a quality check on something like that.
You can read more about Hemignways monster double in this article from Garden & Gun magazine.
If you really want a .577 and you missed out on Hemingways gun, go to Schwandt Classic Arms and take a look under double rifles. There youll see a better rifle for about half the money. Its a Holland & Hollandy Royal in .577NE. Its a sidelock (droplocks are over rated) AND it has double triggers. Ive seen this gun in person and its awesome.
I dont know if I would want to shoot a .577 NE , though. Ive fired a .470 NE double rifle and that gun bounced my brain around pretty well. Anything more than that is too much for me

I've shot a 4 bore single and a 600 NE double and they'll get your attention w/o a doubt..
I'll stick with my 450 NE's.

577 is less painful than a 470. It pushes you back, but without the quick punch of a 470. Thanks for mentioning the 577 Royal.

Project Instructions
Step 1:
Cut a 14" aqua strand and a 14" pink strand. Cut a 9" purple strand. Line the pink and aqua strands up. Line the purple strand up with the other end of the pink strand.
Step 2:
Tie an overhand knot with all three strands at the spot marked above, so that a 5" tail is left with the pink strand.
Step 3:
Braid for 4". Tie a slip knot with all three cords again. Trim any excess cord on either side of the knot EXCEPT for both the 5" pink and aqua tails.
Step 4:
To finish the bracelet and create adjustable knots, cross the aqua cord over the pink cord, like you would to close the bracelet.
Step 5:
Make a knot on both sides of the bracelet next to the overhand knots. Start by making the first knot 3" down from the base of the aqua strand.
Step 6:
Cross the aqua strand to the right (the knot will be made going in the right direction), over and in front over the pink strand. Loop the aqua strand around the pink strand the same way as an overhand knot, back behind the pink strand and to the front. Instead of coming back through the loop to complete the knot, make another loop around the pink strand.
Step 7:
Pull the aqua strand in front of the loops just created, then run it back through the aqua loops going to the right. Pull both ends of the blue strand to form a knot. Trim any excess cord.
To make the second knot, use the pink cord to make the knot and the aqua cord as the base. Make this knot going to the left instead of the right, and on the other side of the bracelet next to the other overhand knot.

Try the Pheasant Ravioli – The pheasant ravioli is to die for! Quaint little nooks to sit and eat with privacy. The place is very chic yet, still feels cozy and not at all stuffy.
Will definitely be back!
Excellent Food and Incredible Wine List – I recently dined at Vivere, and it was amazing. We had been to the Village on many other occasions, but hadn't tried Vivere. We were very pleased.
We started with the Pesce Spada Crudo, swordfish, excellent, and then ordered, the Seared Alaskan Halibut and the Lamb Rib Chops. The rib chops were in a fanstastic reduction and the Halibut was extremely fresh. Our server was very knowledgable about the many wines, and I mean many, there are around 40,000 bottles in the wine cellar. Wow!!
We had an excellent time here and will definitley be back to try some of the other items on the menu.
Great Ambiance, Service and Food!! – Vivere is one of three restaurants at the Italian Village. I
think its very romantic and a great date spot. The wine list is incredible and if you have any questions about any of the wines, the sommelier can answer any, and I mean any, question you may have. I love the Roasted Duck in the banana parsnip puree and sherry glaze, its outstanding. The pork tenderloin is also excellent. My favorite menu item by far though is the Gnocchi- the white wine shallot sauce is to die for. I wish I could get my hands on the recipe!! The service is always excellent, a bit more expensive than the other two restaurants at the Village, but worth every penny!!
Olive Graden is way better.... – Not sure what people liked at Vivere but my experience there was not so good, the place and decor is nice but all of us are there for the food and service.service was ok but the food is horrible and i really mean it that Olive garden is way better..., dnt go here.
Outstanding wine list!!! – I was amazed the first time I went here the amount of wines that Vivere had in its Cellar. Over 40,000 bottles, and from several countries and wineries. The wine sommelier is so incredibly knowledgable, I was blown away. On top of the amazing wine, the food is outstanding. I wouldn't expect anything less from the owners of Italian Village, a Chicago Icon. I would recommend the garlic infused mushrooms for an appetizer, they have an incredible onion-thyme cream sauce, and the pork tenderloin and madagascar salt prawns for dinner, you cant go wrong. The atmosphere and service are great. Keep up the good work!!
Fantastic Date place – I recently went here on a date. Let me tell you, this restaurant was very romantic. The lighting, the mood, the atmosphere were perfect. Let me start with the gnocchi is to die for. We had reservations for 7:30 on a Friday night, and when we got there it was extremely busy, I thought we would have to wait at the bar, but was very pleasantly surprised when we were seated right at 7:30. Our waiter greeted us promptly and brought us a fabulous bottle of Merlot from Napa, I dont quite remember the winery, as the wine list is too die for and has so many bottles, it was hard to choose just that one. The prices were very reasonable as well. We ordered the carne affettata or appetizer and gnocchi (yummy). I ordered the Pan roasted duck breast and my date had the roasted pork tenderloin. Both were delicious. We couldn't have been happier, i felt like I had excellent food and a good date. I will definitely be back.
Really enjoyed the experiance! – We were in the loop recently to go to our old favorite the Village ..but decided to try Vivere instead, we had never eaten there. Like the Village the service is great. The atmosphere or decor is definetly romantic and original. They have an enormous wine list...2 inches thick, but the wine director helped us choose one under $75.00 for the bottle and we felt like we drank a bargain. The food was very good. I had the pheasant filled pasta to start, my wife had the mushroom tart, of which we ordered a second. For the main course the chicken was very very good, and my wife enjoyed her filet. We had a port and cream brulee for dessert and are really pleased we made the choice to eat there. The maitre'd came by several times. the chef also asked us about our experience and the wine director followed up. All and all I cannot remember when we had a better meal or dining experience, and we eat out all the time. Thanks to everyone at Vivere for a very very nice evening!
Great Service and Quality Food – Well I have to say that Vivere was a top-notch dining experience from the minute we walked in to the time we left. We were greeted graciously and seated promptly for our reservation on Saturday. We were not sure what to order so we had the Chef decide for us, wow ! what an experience. Chef Robert prepared a four course dinner and the Wine Sommelier, Michael perfectly matched wines to accompany our dishes. We felt very special and the food and wine was perfect, as well as the price. We have eaten out before downtown but this gem was a great find. We will definetely be back soon.
Great Place to Go ! – I eat out alot and find it hard to get a true experience. This place is on Target ! I enjoyed the minute I walked in to the minute I left. The food, service and Wine List are first rate and makes me want to run back. The servers knew their stuff and I had the carpaccio to start and then the pheasant filled pasta and the grouper. All seasoned properly and presented in a beautiful manner. I had a bottle of the Grasso Barolo which was one of the best I jhave had in a long time. Try the semifreddo dessert ...it was awesome . My friends I brought appreciated the birthday dessert and the special care by the staff. The Wine Director was very helpful and did not oversell me like most places. Give this place a try !
Take me to the Loop for Dinner – After reading reviews on yelp-citysearch the wine magazines we decided to go to a new restaurant and picked Vivere. It was the right pick! We were seated with-in 2 minutes of our reservation time. Our waiter was prompt and efficent...made us feel like the only patrons in the place and it was jammed. Our food was outta this world. My wife ordered the pheasant filled pasta which melted in our mouths. I had the duck just the right sweetness, our desserts were the cream brulee and chocolate...which we argued over they were so good...not knowing much about wine we were abit overwhelmed with the list of 45,000 bottles but the wine person Michael, went over selections very slowly and we had the most amazing bottle of wine for only $60. We meet the Chef Robert and Fred the maitre'd keep an eye on us! The decor is romantic and chic and the chairs are so comfortable.
We made the right choice and will be back!

Soft Structured Carriers
Catbird Baby Pikkolo Carrier
"I bought the Pikkolo to have an option for a buckle carrier where my little one could have his legs out rather than in. The Pikkolo has an adjustable base which allows both small babies to be legs out and also any baby to face forward while still sitting ergonomically. I tried it out, immediately, with my 3yo son, and was amazed at how comfy it was, even with him. The baby was far more..." --HeatherB
Baby Bjorn Air Carrier
" It took my son a couple of weeks to adjust to this carrier and he eventually liked being in it. I found it very helpful at first; the hands-free capability. However, as my son grew and gained weight, carrying him in the Air hurt my back. I just thought it was me, but the carrier really had minimal back support. My husband really wanted one of these since he saw his brother had one, so I..." --Romina

With a Name Like Magicshine...
Last time we looked at NiteRider's new entrants in the crowded LED light market. This time we're going to look at Magicshine's latest.
As you can see, while the Magicshine is slightly larger, both sport the silver bezel, black body, and O-ring attachment. Both locate their switch on the back, dead center. Both use a similar emitter, though the Magicshine's appears to be a lesser bin. The reflector on the Lupine is--in my opinion--better, but the Magicshine does have an "orange peel" type finish, to help smooth out the beam.
There is, though, one HUGE difference between the lights. The Magicshine is $85+shipping. The Lupine is $420.

Mon-Wed 11am-10pm; Thu-Sat 11am-12am; Sun 12pm-10pm
Neighborhoods: West LA, Ocean Park
Provided by CityGrid
Make sure you try Santino's famous "grilled pizzas" on Tuesdays & Fridays.
Provided by CityGrid
Paella Special! please call for details
Amazing all around – Great service with a family atmosphere. Great live music (it was TUE). Tried the sauteed shrimp (10/10), Empanadas (beef 10/10, cheese/basil 8/10), Panini (8/10), Cuban Salad (10/10), and a bold Argentinean cab (9/10). New local favorite!!
Great music (especially Wednesdays), great food & prices! – I live in the neighborhood, heard good things and checked them out. Their food is fantastic, especially the Cuban salad. They had a fantastic guitar player/singer named Bob playing everything from Jobim to Simon & Garfunkle to jazz standards. He was one of the finest singers I've ever heard. He said he was just hired to play regularly every Wednesday night. The service was fantastic...the atmosphere was very cool, Argentinian style.
Go there, especially Wednesday nights! You will not be disappointed!
A great place to eat, drink, and hang out in the neighborhood – Although word has it that the place is packed in the evenings we enjoyed some excellent tapas dishes, fine beers, and sangria one Monday afternoon with the place to ourselves (except for one diligent writer hunched over his notebook computer). Do yourself a favor and, if you're in the neighborhood, give Santino's a try. It's only a few blocks south of Ocean Park Blvd on Lincoln Blvd, just north of Rose.
Mean People & dumb drunks – I was there with my wife & two kids on Tuesday, bad waiters. We waited 30 minutes for our order & waiter. Then another 45 minutes for the food, that went cold right away. There were so many drunks cussing around my family. I felt very embarrassed front my family. Back to the food, it was so bad, it looked liked 8 years cook the damn food. I got very sick of it.
Service, Service, Service – If there is something as important as good food in a restaurant it is good service and when you find both in one same place you have found a place to call home. This is why there are so many familiar faces at Santino's, people keep coming back. Whether it is Pizza nights, Pinguo's nights, with their fiary music, Paella nights, "talk about finger liking good" Sundays ASADOS "Argentinian for BBQ" and of course Brazilian time, well you have found a great fun place to go eat, and close to the BEACH!!! Of course their "TO GO" menu is just as good, you'll just miss the fun time and good service. Congratulations to the owners for such hard effort, I hope you grow soon, that place gets packed. Monique
Sangria-lovers heaven! – I absolutely love this place. The food, ambiance and friendly staff transport you to some cafe in a beachy European/South American country. I've been there a few times now and they already know my name. The pizza and tapas are fantastic as are the desserts (which change everyday). However, best of all is the sangria. I could sit with a pitcher of these all day...
Awsome Pizza!!! Great variety and a very Healthy Pizza. Highly recommended. – Santino's is the real deal!
A great hang-out place where to meet, have a good time, and enjoy the very friendly atmosphere with great-healthy home-made food. The host-ownrers are exceptionally friendly and very attentive to good service, and make all the difference in the world to make sure you are well attended and having a good time.
The music, the food, and atmosphere is superb. Love the variety of its menu. Very hommy, very Argentinian with an Italian flavor. The Pizza with such a special thin crust, and grilled outdoors over mesquite wood is good to die for, and with great variety and style. No one should miss "Tuesdays-Pizza Nights", also when "Los Pinguos" play, a great Argentinian Folk music group.
Congratulations to Alejandra and Sergio, the lovely owners!
Enjoy! Salud!
Super locals hang-out with South American Flare – The pizza IS amazing, but a word to the wise, it's only made on Tuesday and Friday nights and currently the Argentine band Los Pinguos plays on Tuesdays and it's PACKED! So much fun, but reservations are definitely required for this night. You feel like you are at home with the great staff and beyond the pizza, the rest of the menu is solid. I live a few blocked away so am a regular. Also, if you like meat, you HAVE to come to the Sunday afternoon/evening Argentine BBQ. All you can eat and MUY RICO :)
Pizza on the Grill is to die for! – My friend just had his birthday party here and everyone went for the all-you-can-eat grilled pizza. The friendly owner kept heaping it onto our plates and I couldn't get enough. The crust is the thinnest, flakiest, most wonderful thing you'll ever taste and the toppings are fresh and varied (brie and tomato, veggie with avocado, roasted red pepper and mushrooms, plus many meat ones that I didn't try). The lighting is ideal - warm and dim. The back patio had a fire going and that's where the grill is so you get to watch the pizza action. For two people - all you can eat pizza and two alcoholic beverages - the bill came to $36 before tip. It's a great place to go for a party or a quiet, romantic dinner for two.
Love this place – One of My favorite restaurants. I live in the neighborhood and go here at least once a week. Have tried many menu selections and never been disapointed. The staff are super friendly. Great place for a mellow dinner that won't leave you broke.

Power Plants & Industrial Sources
Power plants can be substantial sources of traditional pollution (like soot and toxic heavy metals) and greenhouse gases, which cause global warming. Collectively, power plants are responsible for 33% of the nation's total greenhouse gas emissions. California is committed to moving to less-polluting, lower carbon, and renewable technology. Some other states, however, continue to permit power plants and other industrial sources using last century's technology.
While California cannot impose requirements on out-of-state emitters, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can. Accordingly, the Attorney General, along with the attorneys general of several other states, sued the Bush Administration EPA for its failure to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. In March 2011, the challenging states reached a groundbreaking settlement with EPA requiring the agency to take action to control carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.. Read the power plant settlement.
In June 2013, President Obama announced a national Climate Action Plan. The Climate Action Plan builds on the progress made in the states' settlement toward national greenhouse gas standards for power plants. The President directed EPA to work closely with states, industry and other stakeholders to establish carbon pollution standards for both new and existing power plants. On September 20, 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced its first steps under the Climate Action Plan to reduce carbon pollution from power plants. EPA is proposing carbon pollution standards for new power plants and commencing the rulemaking process for standards for existing power plants.

When can I come back! Nice rooms, great attention to detail and beauty. Views to take your breathe away. Owners available and laid back. Great food, very good yoga class, clean hot tub and pool, trails to explore, flowers everywhere. A place to commune with nature.
I'm in love! The views, the surroundings, the attention to detail, the zen atmosphere, the food, the hosts, the yoga class, the air, the river, the overall experience was a gift. Oriana and Frank are smooth, laid back and yet committed to providing you with a wonderful stay. We asked about dinner in the area and they proposed they provide a meal for us - yum!!! A cornucopia of homemade delights. The breakfast, included with the price of the room, was another hit. They seem to be where they are supposed to be, and you are welcomed into that beat with them with ease. In my experience, "hippy" places can be grungy and brick-a brack. This place has that "hippy" feel, but is clean and thoughtfully done in all the right places. The rooms are clean and decorated with care. We did not swim in the pool because of the climate but it was clean and inviting, and we did enjoy a nice, star filled soak in the hot tub. Lovely! Thanks Frank and Oriana!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

My latest dream
and i don't remember dreams very often however......
i am participating in a 100 day meditation with a 94 yr old monk from Thailand
who has been practicing since he was l7 yrs old.
Building the authoratative mind power....hence silencing the emotions.
Meditating to find the consciousness of the soul....
Anyways....quite a challenge with only week ends off.
My dream comprised of suddenly being at the grocery store....needing supplies...and also at this point needing to call my son.....who has been distant recently and con communicative....hope this is short lived...
So I am checking out and my conversation of the evening was all about Neburu, cochina, the blue star, the comet that the Hopi says was/is coming.
Some have seen it close to the sunset and I have one photo from last march of 2 suns in the sky out of my car window.
Not sure why no one is talking....however....
So I am checking out and a little worried and asking the cashier what she thinks?
she said and I quote "It is not time yet!"
She was non descript.....meaning just a person however I believed her and woke up a little relieved....
When we pray we are talking to God or our higher self
When we meditate...we are listening...
Love to you all this glorious last night of the full Moon.

Happy ephiphany or ukranaine or Eastern
Block Russian Xmas!
Today is the 5th year since my blessed
Operation that changed my life and perspective
Nothing like a crisis to open your eyes heart and
Saying get it together!
And like they said on Downtown Abby last Sunday
"either die or remain in the living!"
Dame Edwards saying to her granddaughter
Anyways it was a life altering experience hence I
Had to go thru it to know I could over come it and
Able to help others
It was shown to me on the last day of radiation
As I went home and always slept a little
Afterwards. My damaged cells all turned black
And flew away.
Next thing u know I am flying over Rome In
Celebration as a doctor helped me 3 month hence
Getting my body alkaline with sodium bicarbonate injections
I never gave up and I will not give up now
Even though I am a little sad at the moment
Xmas always makes me think of all family here and
On the higher side. Gosh I miss them
Love to you all
Hope to post something magical soon
Like the new sun or new stars!
Or the new Mars! Hahahajajajahakali

The wardens were great on the phone and welcomed us to the site even though we didn't arrive until late in the afternoon. The site is fairly small and has a combination of hard standing and grass pitches with and without electricity. We had a hard standing pitch. The is an excellent toilet and wash block with impeccably clean facilities. There's also a small play area for the kids and a small shop that provides a few essential items. The access from the M25 was easy with just a short journey from the motorway. There's a few speed humps on the way in and a couple of narrow roads but nothing too major to navigate. This is a small park with excellent facilities. If you just want a base to stay or a quiet getaway this site is highly recommended.

To those of you who don't know, I figure I'll give a quick rundown of what life is like up here in the mountains of PA.
Life in Eagles Mere is NOT for the faint of heart. I don't mean the type of people who are afraid of rollercoaster rides or bunjee jumping or KISS concerts. I'm talking about the folks who forgot what life was really about or why they fell in love in the first place. Up here, you can't help but remember these things, and maybe even learn a little more about them.
Eagles Mere is an old resort town that time left at the bus stop. Full of early 20th century architecture, it is built around the all natural, spring-fed Eagles Mere Lake. With quaint shops and an outdoor lovers' paradise, there isn't much you need to leave town for.
Eagles Mere is the kind of place that John Denver would sing about, or that you would picture while reading Robert Frost's poetry. It's simplistic perfection speaks so eloquently to your soul that you start to wonder "What really matters in life? Is it really cellphones or e-mails or work, or maybe it's something else completely. " Hmmmm.
Guess what?
IT IS!!! Imagine your only concern being whether to read your book in a hammock, or on a rocker on the front porch, or trying to decide between a kayak or a canoe as your vessel of choice to watch the sunset from the lake. Or the really terrible one " What kind of Ice cream should I get when we walk over to the Sweet Shop?"……. Sounds much more like life to me. What do you think? Do you have that kind of heart?
I think you do, you just may not know it yet.
So here I am, Toby, Innkeeper at the Eagles Mere Inn, waiting to help you realize what you are missing.
I'll tell my story next time. For now, I've got to prepare for our Wine Tasting Weekend.
As for Robert Frost, I agree, "the woods ARE lovely, dark and deep, but I've got promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep"
So do you!!
Toby Diltz

In financial history, Ponzi schemes—the fraudulent enterprise of paying off old investors with money collected from new ones—are the most peculiar of crimes. Before they are detected, they seem exquisitely pleasing to perpetrators and victims alike. The fraud appears to be a bountiful gift that the confidence trickster, a generous soul and a financial wizard to boot, has bestowed upon a grateful world. Investors frequently revere the schemer, endowing him with magical properties. The schemer, in turn, may come to believe that his scheme isn't altogether shady and that he will someday generate the sensational returns advertised. For the duration of a Ponzi scheme, it may seem like a victimless crime. Not surprisingly, when the impostor is exposed, the victims experience profound hurt and disillusionment, having trusted implicitly in the schemer against a chorus of naysayers.
Charles Ponzi was probably the most colorful and outlandish practitioner of the scheme that bears his name. An Italian immigrant and postman's son who arrived in Boston in 1903, he had charm, imagination, and chutzpah of epic proportions. At first, he worked as a grocery clerk and dishwasher, but he soon got a job with a bank in Montreal that paid exorbitant interest rates and stole money from depositors—invaluable training for his future exploits. After being arrested for forging a signature on a check, Ponzi was clapped into a Quebec jail for twenty months and told his unsuspecting mother that he had landed a job as a "special assistant" to the warden. Returning to the United States, he served a two-year stint in an Atlanta prison for smuggling Italian immigrants into the country.
Ponzi's mind was a small factory for cranking out get-rich-quick schemes. Back in Boston in 1919, Ponzi had the epiphany that secured his place in the annals of financial larceny. An avid stamp collector, he received a letter from Spain that contained a voucher called an International Reply Coupon, which the recipient could redeem for a return-postage stamp at a fixed price in sixty-three countries. Many European currencies had slumped after the war, and Ponzi reasoned that he could buy such coupons, say, in debased Italian lire, redeem them in America, then sell the stamps at a sizable profit. It was an elementary form of currency arbitrage—exploiting discrepancies in the prices of the coupons in different currencies. In December of 1919, Ponzi launched a firm called the Securities Exchange Company—it preceded by more than a decade the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., established to police swindlers like Ponzi—and wooed investors by promising a fifty-per-cent return on their money in forty-five days.
Financial fraud is the crime of choice for arrivistes, insecure dreamers with a yearning eye for high society. Desperate to feel rich and important, they tend to be excellent mimics of respectability. The diminutive Ponzi fit the bill perfectly. A dandy in a straw boater with spats and a showy gold-tipped cane, he strutted about Boston, greeting reporters with ready quips and quotable lines, and his press coverage was, at first, highly laudatory.
Like many confidence men, Ponzi preyed first on his own kind, and the Boston Italian community embraced him with delirious joy. As insurance against future trouble, Ponzi also recruited Boston policemen and reporters as investors. In February, 1920, he collected a meagre five thousand dollars; five months later, he was raking in a million dollars weekly. Ponzi's business drew in thousands of investors, bewitched by his supposed prowess. With considerable skill, he portrayed himself as a populist champion who would enable small investors to earn their rightful places in the world. He claimed to accept money from investors as a form of altruism, and they rewarded him with fanatic loyalty.
Ponzi's investment strategy wasn't illegal, and the postal coupons could, in theory, have yielded a profit. In practice, however, the scheme was preposterous and unworkable. Nobody could buy and transport stamps in sufficient quantities to earn the returns that Ponzi promised. In "Ponzi's Scheme" (2005), Mitchell Zuckoff, a journalism professor at Boston University, regards his subject as a chronic dreamer with a cockeyed scheme that went awry. Ponzi was indeed a strange amalgam of petty visionary and big-time crook. Soon after he announced his scheme, postal authorities in Italy, France, and Romania suspended the sale of postal coupons, destroying any chance that Ponzi could implement his plan or reward investors with outsize returns. When anyone pressed him about his investment methods, he hinted that he couldn't reveal his lucrative strategies.
As he paid off old clients with money from new ones, the press scented criminal mischief afoot. The New York Postmaster, Thomas G. Patten, pointed out that too few coupons existed to sustain a scheme of such magnitude. When reporters dredged up Ponzi's criminal past in Montreal, complete with mug shots, his fate was sealed. Eight months after he founded the Securities Exchange Company, federal agents padlocked the offices. It turned out that Ponzi had never actually got around to buying many postal coupons and that it was all a colossal hoax. Sentenced to five years in a federal prison in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Ponzi had fancy stationery printed up that said "Charles Ponzi, Plymouth, Mass." He was deported to Italy in 1934, and later made his way to South America, where he died in the charity ward of a Rio de Janeiro hospital in 1949.
Ponzi was convinced that he was a wizard who had stumbled upon a form of financial alchemy that had eluded others. Incapable of moral clarity, he could never quite admit to himself that he was a charlatan and that his scheme was an impossible fiasco. He fooled others because he fooled himself. Right up until the end, he found refuge in fantasies that he might take over a chain of banks or shipping lines that would enable him to pay off his legions of worshipful investors. He never suffered serious remorse or second thoughts.

Every year in the late fall it happens to me. Family and friends ask the question, "What do you want for Christmas?" I am usually asked for a list and I always struggle to come up with things. There are things I want and need, but they are not always things other people can get for me.
This year though, I am thinking outside the box and am going a different route. I am going to ask for business related things, or at least, money for them. Much better than just random things I don't really need. Ask for products or services that will help you take your business to the next level.
Think about all the all the services out there that a mom entrepreneur could use.
* Money towards big ticket items like a new laptop
* Media or publicity services
* Business books
* Ebooks related to your business
* Coaching services
* Business software
* Mentoring or Mastermind group
* Monthly PLR membership
* Ghostwriting, copywriting, or press release writing services
* Menu Planning subscription service (because who has time to think of what to make for dinner!
Do you want to write a book? Ask for Book School. Planning on creating an information product? Ask for Information Product Sweetie Course. Looking into becoming a podcaster? Ask for Shoestring Radio or Podcasting Intensive.
Come up with a list of business products and services that you would love to have, but just are not quite ready to spend the money on and put them on the list. That way, in the new year, instead of adding to the bath products and kitchen gadgets in your drawers, you can grow your business and reach your goals.

Customer Reviews for More Than a Dozen Hats & Beanies:
February 22, 2014
Juanita S
My first project from this book is the Baby Earflap. I immediately realized that the directions for making the earflaps, the first step, was wrong and would not give me the required number of stitches. The problem was easily fixed by doing a kfb at both the beginning and end of the increase row, rather than just one side. I corrected that, but as I worked the body of the hat I wound up with way too many stitches. I am an experienced knitter. There are no corrections on this site as yet. Please help.
